In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

His Excellency the Ambassador of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, His Excellency Ambassador Nur Hilal Saifur Rahman

Dear sisters and brothers,

I greet you with the Islamic greeting: Peace be upon you, and the mercy and blessings of Allah.

We are brought together in Jordan with Bangladesh by bonds of religion, history, and shared interests. On the occasion of celebrating Victory Day in Bangladesh, I take this opportunity, on my own behalf and on behalf of my colleagues in the Jordanian–Bangladeshi Friendship Association, to extend our warmest congratulations and best wishes to the friendly people of Bangladesh, as well as to the Bangladeshi leadership and government.

At the Jordanian–Bangladeshi Friendship Association, we are exerting every effort to advance the fraternal relations between Jordan and Bangladesh. We will work to open a direct flight route between the Jordanian capital Amman and the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka. We will also strive to establish a Jordanian–Bangladeshi Parliamentary Friendship Association, and to increase economic cooperation between the two countries, especially given that there are more than sixty thousand Bangladeshi workers in Jordan working in the sectors of agriculture, industry, and services.

We will also seek to strengthen tourism relations and enhance mutual cooperation between universities in both friendly countries.

We pray to Allah that Bangladesh remains strong and that security and peace prevail throughout the country.

Praise be to Allah, relations between Jordan and Bangladesh continue to grow steadily across various fields—relations that are supported and fostered by the Leader of the Nation, His Majesty King Abdullah II, in cooperation with the leadership and government of Bangladesh.

Thank you very much for your kind attention.

Peace be upon you, and the mercy and blessings of Allah.
